Encouraging molesters is what this Judge has actually achieved.

[kingu]

And what would have been the sentence had he been a woman, I wonder... You know, with gender equality and everything.

[DallasDeb]

and that the use of violence to solve problems would only encourage more violence

Yeah? Well maybe if these perverts thought they would get killed by one of their victims in the future, it might prevent them from molesting innocents in the first place. This makes me sick!

[a fool in paradise]

the use of violence to solve problems would only encourage more violence

The dead gay molester is going to become violent now?

[Vaquero]

sounds like the judge is a NAMBLA member.

[Tamar1973]

This was a revenge killing, not a killing in self defense. He deserved some jail time.

Judges like Ronald Brown are the reason people take the law into their own hands. You can bet “Ronald” would have let the abuser off with a slap on the wrist. Since judges were lawyers first, most of them seem to lean towards giving breaks to the thugs and prosecuting victims to the full extent of the law for the mere act of defending themselves.

[Tublecane]

This sounds like murder one to me, frankly. Either we believe you can kill only in self-defense, or we don’t. The fact that the victim did something wrong to him years ago is irrelevant.

[Red Badger]

FREE VARGAS!.......McNeill won’t molest another child, that’s for sure.

[dead]

The shooter sounds very troubled (violence and drinking), which of course could be the result of molestation at the hands of the guy he shot.

Or the accusation could have come from the fact that the shooter was disturbed.

It seems likely that the guy abused him, but perhaps a trial and conviction were in order before the death penalty. I just like to know the right guy is dead before I absolve the shooter.

[stinkerpot65]

Liberals want pedophilia normalized, not punished.

[TheDon]

Judge Ronald Brown said he imposed the harsher sentence because he believed Vargas had gone to McNeill's house with the intent to kill him, and that the use of violence to solve problems would only encourage more violence.

Vigilante justice is a symptom of a failed justice system. A harsher punishment does not address the problem, but exacerbates it.

[hometoroost]

I’d have sentenced him to two-weeks paid vacation in Vegas and a new car.

[ZULU]

“A Northern California man who fatally shot a family friend accused of molesting him for years was sentenced Tuesday to nine years in prison in the vigilante shooting.”

Wrong. Justifiable homicide.

[Uncle Miltie]

Settles up the accounts fair and square.

You diddle me, I kill you, I go to jail.

Everyone ought to have known the series of actions would follow one another.

[Scythian]

He should have got no time.

[Oldpuppymax]

Was this a jury trial? Did the jury find him guilty? A jury had the authority to find him innocent, had it wished.

[GeronL]

Another judge that should never have been on a bench

[KingofZion]

Wonder if the judge is this tough with real perps?

This guy should be kicked loose and given a medal and maybe some cash for saving the state some money.
